잠23:1 아들에게 주는 교훈   
   
잠23:1 재물을 탐내지 마라  

 ^23:1When you sit to eat with a ruler, 
      Consider diligently what is before you; 

 ^23:2Put a knife to your throat, 
      If you are a man given to appetite. 

 ^23:3Don't be desirous of his dainties, 
      Seeing they are deceitful food. 

 ^23:4Don't weary yourself to be rich. 
      In your wisdom, show restraint. 

 ^23:5Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? 
      For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. 

 ^23:6Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, 
      And don't crave his delicacies: 

 ^23:7For as he thinks about the cost, so he is. 
      "Eat and drink!" he says to you, 
      But his heart is not with you. 

 ^23:8The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, 
      And lose your good words.

잠23:9 어리석고 사악한 일을 금하라 

 ^23:9Don't speak in the ears of a fool, 
      For he will despise the wisdom of your words. 

 ^23:10Don't move the ancient boundary stone. 
      Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless: 

 ^23:11For their Defender is strong. 
      He will plead their case against you. 

 ^23:12Apply your heart to instruction, 
      And your ears to the words of knowledge. 

 ^23:13Don't withhold correction from a child. 
      If you punish him with the rod, he will not die. 

 ^23:14Punish him with the rod, 
      And save his soul from Sheol. 

 ^23:15My son, if your heart is wise, 
      Then my heart will be glad, even mine: 

 ^23:16Yes, my heart will rejoice, 
      When your lips speak what is right.

잠23:17 항상 여호와를 경외하라  

 ^23:17Don't let your heart envy sinners; 
      But rather fear Yahweh all the day long. 

 ^23:18Indeed surely there is a future hope, 
      And your hope will not be cut off. 

 ^23:19Listen, my son, and be wise, 
      And keep your heart on the right path! 

 ^23:20Don't be among ones drinking too much wine, 
      Or those who gorge themselves on meat: 

 ^23:21For the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; 
      And drowsiness clothes them in rags. 

 ^23:22Listen to your father who gave you life, 
      And don't despise your mother when she is old. 

 ^23:23Buy the truth, and don't sell it: 
      Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding. 

 ^23:24The father of the righteous has great joy. 
      Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him. 

 ^23:25Let your father and your mother be glad! 
      Let her who bore you rejoice! 

 ^23:26My son, give me your heart; 
      And let your eyes keep in my ways.

잠23:27 음녀와 술 취함을 멀리하라  

 ^23:27For a prostitute is a deep pit; 
      And a wayward wife is a narrow well. 

 ^23:28Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, 
      And increases the unfaithful among men. 

 ^23:29Who has woe? 
      Who has sorrow?
